2023/24 World Champion Luke Humphries received his MBE from the Prince of Wales at Windsor Castle on Wednesday.

The 2025/26 Paddy Power World Darts Championship will take place at London's Alexandra Palace from December 11 to January 3, as a bumper 128-player field compete for an incredible £1m top prize.

Alexandra Palace will remain the home of the Paddy Power World Darts Championship until at least 2031 following a new five-year agreement between the Professional Darts Corporation and Alexandra Palace.

Amateur players will get a chance to secure their place in the 2026 Ladbrokes UK Open through a series of events to be held over the next three months in PDC in the Community venues and Rileys Sports Bars.

Michael Smith is relishing his 15th consecutive appearance at the Paddy Power World Darts Championship, a tournament that will always hold a special place in his heart.

Fans can now order the 2025/26 Paddy Power World Darts Championship programme ahead of the tournament beginning next week.
